Help!!!

Post by monkey2boy »

Software:Universal Client
Version Number:0.51.9
________________________________________________________________________
Location
Cirrus Minor
________________________________________________________________________
Description:
Some said that a Hacker or a bug had launched a Gamma (Not entirely sure what it is) while i was traveling to the Spacestation. After the Gamma went off, my game had crashed and all of the cargo i was delivering disappeared. Now i only have 0.1cr left so there is nothing left for me to do in space.

It happened at about 4:30pm.

Please help!

Regards
Monkey2boy

umm...lol...

I think they were referring to a Gamma Burst, which is a system-wide space weapon. I've actually never seen one fired, but the corresponding graphics for it might have crashed your client, which counts as a bailing out while in Red Alert. The person who fired the Gamma then gets your cargo.

I'm not sure it's bug, but looking into preventing fight related game crashes should certainly be a priority in future updates.

For now it might just be your only choice to do a !resetme and start from scratch...

The Gamma Ray burst is a defensive weapon, it is used when you are fired upon with a missile, it pretty much has the same effects as the EM burst but the gamma disables both the launcher and the target, if I remember correctly last time I fired it, it also caused some damage to ships. Truely a devastating weapon, but I prefer the EMs, their effect is much cleaner.

Even though, I think you were effected by a bug, I hope Fooli can help you because I saw you trading alot in cirrus today.
